Interdependent Networks
In an environment that demands a blend of collaboration, care, connection, and solidarity, Change Elemental energizes, convenes, and guides networks of changemakers to move intentionally toward love, dignity, and justice together.
With Change Elemental, networks of grassroots leaders, organizers, culture workers, funders, and movement accompanists working across issues, movements, and sectors discover authentic ways to generate power greater than the sum of their parts in service of vision.
We support networks in connecting across divides, overcoming habits that hold them back, and remaking strategies and systems together to ensure the well-being of all. Together, we foster alignment rooted in shared values, a long-term commitment to building trust, and harnessing generative tensions to nurture authentic relationships. By building capacity to be nimble, flexible, and adaptive in their culture, structures, roles, and strategies, we support networks to be more efficient and impactful amid uncertain, chaotic terrain.
Offerings
- Support networks in their formation and initial structuring, including grounding in shared values, authentic relationship-building, purpose and vision, managing tensions and conflicts, and embracing experimentation as a means to strategically and systematically move forward in emergence by offering a lightweight structure and approach that facilitates iterative and innovative learning.
- Develop the mindset, skills, and practices of effective movement network leaders operating at the intersection of network and organization, including clarifying the relationship between individuals’ organizations, funders, and the network.
- Catalyze short- and long-term strategy and capacity for equitable systems change in the face of complexity and chaos, facilitate ongoing learning and action cycles, and support sharing learning with the field.

Without the space to build seriously deep connections and networks, we wouldn’t be able to talk about alumni and how to grow what has been established already.”
